Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Ultimate Battle Form

During the days when Su Xin disappeared, the world’s situation on the surface had already returned to calm, and the discussions about Su Xin had also subsided considerably.

At the same time, occasionally, news of superpower users emerged in various parts of the world, and national authorities seemed to no longer deliberately suppress information related to superpower users.

Someone once said a sentence —

When you find one cockroach in your house, there might already be a thousand in the dark.

Superpower users could also be described using this sentence.

Before Su Xin publicly appeared, many organizations worldwide contained superpower users, and some who awakened their powers dared not show themselves. Now, seeing Su Xin wreak havoc everywhere, letting the whole world learn about the existence of superpower users, some superpower users also started to become restless.

Coupled with the free publication of news and articles related to superpower users on the internet, media and netizens’ attention to superpower users has reached its peak, leading superpower user-related information to spread wider and wider online.

Some unscrupulous media even deliberately published false news related to superpower users for traffic.

This further fueled the flames.

Moreover, the existence of the Nirvana Association also officially appeared in the public’s view, and some of its previous deeds began to spread online.

Of course, the world is so big that there’s never a shortage of news hotspots, and now the hotspot has merely become superpower users.

…

In a dimly lit conference room.

Six figures sat on either side, and a tall figure sat at the top.

After discussing a few matters, someone turned the topic to Su Xin:

“Everyone, the existence of Su Xin has already threatened the order of this world; should we take some measures against him?”

“After observing him over the past few days, we have a general understanding of his abilities. I think as long as we bring out the Divine Attendant Squad and arrange a proper ambush plan, we should be able to limit his Instant Teleportation and have a chance to capture him.”

On the left, someone spoke up:

“I, however, feel that it would be better to directly apply to the lords to issue an early ascension invitation to Su Xin, inviting him to the Divine Realm. This way, it would avoid conflict between both sides and prevent him from wreaking havoc in the Mortal World.”

“After all, Su Xin’s abilities are exceedingly troublesome, even the Divine Attendant Squad might not successfully capture him. If the capture fails, no one knows what that brat might do; we have no guarantee to stop him, and surely we can’t call upon the Celestial God to descend?”

Others looked at him in surprise.

Someone said: “Didn’t the Sky Lord tell you? The Creator specifically instructed not to issue early ascension invitations to Su Xin, nor to treat him differently; everything is to be handled according to the regulations of the Divine Realm.”

Others also agreed:

“That’s right, our high gods have also said this. Although we don’t know why the Creator specifically instructed this, the ascension invitation has already been vetoed.”

“What we can do now is either ignore Su Xin’s existence and pray that he doesn’t act recklessly, or find a way to curb him.”

That person shook his head helplessly:

“The Sky Lord hasn’t given me orders for a long time; I’m beginning to suspect he has forgotten about me as a Divine Envoy.”

Then, he turned to look at the burly man sitting at the top, who represented the Creator, Divine Envoy Jiang Shandong, curious to ask:

“Divine Envoy Jiang, since the Creator has noticed Su Xin and specifically instructed these, has the Creator given any other instructions? For example, what does the lord intend to do with Su Xin?”

Jiang Shandong slowly spoke:

“The Creator hasn’t explicitly expressed an opinion, but since the lord said no exceptions for Su Xin, it’s clear that we should handle it in a normal way.”

“Mortal affairs are settled in the Mortal World.”

“Exceptional use of the powers of the Divine Realm is not allowed, nor should we expect the Celestial God to intervene.”

That person furrowed his brows, looking puzzled:

“But Su Xin’s abilities are basically unsolvable, at least for us, they are.”

“Although he has temporarily kept a low profile, ran off somewhere, no one knows when he might go off again because of something, kill indiscriminately, or possibly cause something even bigger.”

“Our task is to represent the high gods in maintaining the normal operation of the Mortal World. Now there’s an existence completely beyond control, if left unchecked, if the task fails, we will have no chance to return to the Divine Realm.”

“This concerns the fate of us all.”

Then, a middle-aged man sitting next to Jiang Shandong on the right spoke:

“From Su Xin’s previous behavior, although he is somewhat predisposed to killing, he is not an irrational mass murderer, nor someone crazy enough to want to destroy the world. His actions have traces to follow, even though his abilities are unsolvable, they are not unmanageable.”

“Our purpose is merely to ensure the normal operation of the Mortal World, not to guarantee world peace. As long as strong figures like Su Xin are not intent on destroying the world, there’s no need for us to intervene.”

“He’s still young now, yearning for excitement, without any attachments; it’s why he acts so radically.”

“We just need to watch quietly; one day he will grow, have lovers, have friends, and even have kids, slowly forming attachments and vulnerabilities. Naturally, he will act less radically, and we will have chips to constrain him and leverage him.”

Saying that, the middle-aged man smiled:

“Your time as a Divine Envoy hasn’t been long; unlike me, I’ve been in the Divine Realm for over two hundred years, served as a Divine Envoy for three terms, dealt a lot with the Mortal World, encountered many people and events.”

“In the past, before Lord Furious received the ascension invitation, he was extremely arrogant in the Mortal World. His style was even more aggressive than Su Xin’s, causing tremendous destruction to this world.”

“But later on, after Lord Furious started a family and had concerns, his character became much calmer, and then he naturally accepted the ascension invitation.”

Another person nodded in agreement and said:

“That’s right, Su Xin is so young, at a hot-blooded and impulsive age. Awakening such a powerful superpower, it’s normal for his style to be a bit aggressive.”

“But his temperament is still somewhat controllable, and he probably won’t go down the evil path of world destruction. I also think we don’t need to have a conflict with him.”

Someone else agreed:

“I agree, we should avoid conflict.”

All seven expressed their opinions, with four agreeing to avoid conflict. Jiang Shandong, the leader, made the decision:

“Regarding Su Xin’s matter, it’s decided. As long as he doesn’t do anything that truly endangers the entire world, we will not intervene in his actions.”

…

Two days later, Su Xin finally donated all the remaining money in his bank account.

His karma points accumulated to 380,000.

To be exact, it was 382,665 points.

Undoubtedly, Su Xin immediately chose to upgrade Concealment Prayer to LV8.

Apart from increasing the maximum range of a single Instant Teleportation to forty kilometers, there were no other changes.

For Su Xin, the biggest benefit was gaining an eighth superpower slot, and he could normally trigger a new system task the next day.

With the remaining eighty thousand karma points, Su Xin upgraded the Exercise Maniac superpower by one level.

Fortunately, the characteristic that appeared this time was quite decent, with no extra waste of karma points, he directly chose one of them—

[Ultimate Battle Form: You possess an Ultimate Battle Form born for combat. During effective combat, the body will quickly unleash potential, equivalent to the efficiency of training a hundred times, with no restriction on the superpower trigger time.]

The content description is extremely concise.

The effect is also straightforward and powerful, equivalent to a hundred times training efficiency during combat.

According to the current effect of Exercise Maniac, one can increase one pound of strength every 36 seconds of combat. Fighting for just one hour a day can result in an increase of one hundred pounds of strength, which is much higher than the efficiency of normal training and not as dull and hard to endure as in Stealing Heaven and Changing Day state.

Su Xin has never rejected hand-to-hand combat; in fact, he has a strong yearning for it, allowing him to fight for a day or even a month without a problem. But if he were to sit through a day in the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day state, he would find it a bit unbearable.

So, on the surface, the Ultimate Battle Form characteristic seems inferior to the efficiency in the Stealing Heaven and Changing Day state, but in practical application, considering the time Su Xin can persist, the improvement brought by the Ultimate Battle Form characteristic is actually greater, and this method is also more enjoyable for Su Xin.

Furthermore, the Ultimate Battle Form introduction specifically mentioned: no limit to superpower trigger time.

This is because the Exercise Maniac superpower only triggers after continuously persisting for one hour. If you train for half an hour and stop midway, that half hour is wasted with no gains.

With the Ultimate Battle Form having this feature, it means that even if a battle ends in one second, the superpower will trigger, although such a short time results in limited strength improvement, it allows him to make full use of every second of battle time.

In calculation, accumulating an increase of one pound in body limit strength every 36 seconds of combat, coupled with the Physical Transformation characteristic, means his physical attributes will receive the most comprehensive enhancement.

As long as he fights, he can grow infinitely stronger.

In the future, when Su Xin upgrades the Exercise Maniac superpower to over ten levels, and can gain over ten pounds of strength per hour, the effect of this characteristic will also be enhanced accordingly.

By then, under the Ultimate Battle Form characteristic, he would be able to increase his limit strength by over ten pounds every 36 seconds of combat, which would be terrifying.

“Great, everything is ready, just waiting for the favorable wind.”

“Once I trigger a new task tomorrow, I’ll complete it as quickly as possible, awaken a new superpower, and choose to upgrade with the remaining seventy thousand karma points.”

Su Xin stretched lazily with a relieved expression.

In the last two days, he had stayed in his hotel room for over forty hours without going out, continuously donating, his life could be considered extremely dull.

The key thing was, he was enduring the twice Gravity Assistance the entire time, both his body and mind were quite exhausted.

Although resurrection could restore him, being immersed in donations, he couldn’t possibly recover by suicide every few minutes, it was too troublesome, so most of the time he could only endure as best as he could.

Now it’s finally over.

He felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

Regarding the next task which requires upgrading Concealment Prayer to LV9, and accumulating at least 400,000 karma points, he could only put these things aside for now.

The goal of becoming stronger is for a better life. If you spend all your time on leveling up, without spending some time to enjoy life, what’s the point of working so hard to become stronger?

After all, there is LV9, then LV10, and then LV11, the upgrades are endless, he can’t devote his eternal life solely to earning karma points for upgrades.

Next, he decided to first deal with some previous unresolved issues.

Then continue to follow up with the Nirvana Association, or wait for the triggering of new tasks.
